Kill me instead. Go on.
Kill me. Do it!
Darn it.
Shoot. What the heck?
Ms. Na! Gosh.
My auntie is hurt.
She needs a doctor!
Please stop.
Please.
She needs a doctor.
Please help.
My auntie is hurt. Please help!
What's wrong, kid?
My auntie's hurt. She needs to see a doctor.
Get in.
Thank you.
This is the place.
She was here.
Ms. Na.
Ms. Na?
(Nursing Home)
Ms. Na.
You can't die.
Don't die, Ms. Na.
Hello? Is this the emergency hotline?
Get Jung Im to go on her knees before me,
and tell me the whole truth!
I'm sorry, sir, for causing a fuss.
But it's time you know the truth.
She said, "I'll come and see you, sir."
Do you think that's where she went?
Why go and do that? Why?
Nothing happened.
No one saw.
Yes. This might be for the better.
Destiny...
always favored me.
(Episode 8)
- Dad, the light turned green. - What?
- Right. - Let's go.
Are you that pleased?
Today felt like it was a whole year.
This weekend, let's take Hae In to an amusement park.
Oh, right. We have to go to the department store too.
The girls say that a girl needs lots of clothes.
They wear something else each day.
Oh, and we must get a dung beetle too.
- A dung beetle? - Yes.
Hae In had one when she lived at the orphanage.
We must get a dung beetle too?
Jin Woo, can't I just do my best to raise you two?
Honey, will you talk to him?
Yes. Your mom's right about that.
Let's give the dung beetle some more thought.
Okay. I was inconsiderate.
I think it'll be hard to find fresh cow dung.
I'll pass on the dung beetle.
Honey, was our Jin Woo always this talkative?
I don't know.
- Oh, Dad. - Yes?
Drive faster.
- Hae In is waiting for us. - All right.
Ms. Na.
This is your only chance to live happily.
Don't you get it? Go back home.
Ms. Na.
(Operating Room)
You can't come in.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for not doing as you said.
I'm sorry for being stubborn.
From now on,
I'll do everything you say.
Please...
Please don't die.
Mother Mary, God, merciful Buddha.
Please let my auntie live.
If you let her live,
I'll be a very good girl,
I'll study hard,
and I'll do everything she says.
Please, I beg of you. I pray.
Let my auntie live.
Kid.
She got hurt because I didn't listen to her.
This is my fault.
This happened to her...
because of me.
Mister, can you save my auntie?
She can't die.
Whoever you are,
please don't die.
For this kid...
who's on her knees, praying desperately for you.
Please pull through.
(Operating Room)
They couldn't find Jung Im?
You didn't hide her somewhere, did you?
If you're putting on a show, I'll kill you myself.
Please, stop.
Why would I do that when I need her to go on her knees before you?
I'm losing my mind here because I want to find that ungrateful wench!
Don't you see why I'm upset?
You splashed a whole lot of oil and she set fire to it.
Yes. I get where you got the preposterous idea.
But why do you think Ms. Na ran off like that?
She couldn't handle the aftermath of what she'd started!
She's not that impulsive.
You saw what she did today.
That was utterly impulsive and irresponsible!
Even if she comes here groveling, I won't take her back.
How dare she cause a fuss? In our home of all places.
I shudder to think of the face she made when she said that.
She wouldn't have fled if she could prove what she said.
She paid for running away.
Yes. She paid for it.
I must see her for myself.
And make her pay for setting a fire.
Both you and her...
must see what happens to those who anger me.
Okay, I promise.
I'll find her and make her kneel before you.
I'm on your side, always, whatever happens.
I need you to believe and trust me.
You know the life I lead is as transparent...
as the clearest water you can see through.
I swear on my honor.
You are all I care about in my life.
Nothing will change that.
All I care about are you and our daughter Se Na.
Stay true to that...
to the day you die.
I promise.
Why are you so jumpy?
Mr. Kang Chi Hwan?
Who could it be at this hour?
What do you want?
Kang Chi Hwan.
You're under arrest for Na Jung Im's hit-and-run murder.
"Hit-and-run?"
"Murder?"
Honey.
I didn't do it. It wasn't me.
You told me to trust and believe you!
It wasn't me!
What is it? Why did you jump?
Did you do something wrong?
Who'd visit this late at night?
That's nothing to jump about.
Who is it?
Chairman Ha's family is here.
Hello, Mr. Ha. Hi.
What are you doing here?
Hello.
- You're here too, Jin Woo. - Yes.
Let's sit down.
Se Na, Jin Woo's here.
Jin Woo?
Jin Woo's here?
Jin Woo.
I'm studying and I'm stuck on one of the problems.
Can you help me with it?
Ms. Na isn't here to help.
Ms. Na isn't here?
Oh, well...
I'm sorry to interrupt. Shall I serve tea?
You and Do Hyun can go. I'll serve the tea.
Okay, then. Good night.
Jin Woo. The adults need to talk.
Can you go upstairs and help Se Na?
Okay.
How did you know...
I needed your help?
Did you dress so nicely to help me study?
I could help her too.
I can solve her work with my eyes closed.
I wonder why they're here.
Buy me clothes like that.
It's late and he brought the whole family.
Buy me clothes like Jin Woo's.
Mr. Kang and Ms. Jeon seemed to have no idea why they're even here.
- I want that too! - My gosh.
What do you want?
Cool, expensive clothes that look like a dress suit.
I'd look way nicer than Jin Woo.
My gosh. You're forgetting your place.
Do you even know how much they go for at the department store?
Let's subtract 39 from 51.
- One is smaller than nine. - Yes.
So you must take ten from here.
Okay? You do the rest.
What do you mean Hae In disappeared?
Ms. Na called earlier and told me to pick Hae In up tonight.
Hae In and Ms. Na both disappeared?
That doesn't make any sense.
We have no idea what happened. It's so out of the blue.
Forget the years we've known her.
Chi Hwan paid for her father's hospital bills,
surgery, and hospice stay for years.
He even paid for his funeral.
And she disappeared this evening without so much as a word.
They say you never really know what a person's thinking.
How could she betray us like this?
Was there some kind of issue between Mr. Kang and Ms. Na?
Let me be clear. Don't make guesses. It's not that.
Why is she so frigid now?
My husband and I think Ms. Na has personality issues.
My gosh.
I just don't understand.
When I said I'd adopt Hae In, Ms. Na asked me...
to raise her like my own.
She pleaded with me so many times to make her happy.
And she disappeared with her?
That doesn't make sense.
And it's contrary to what Ms. Na is like.
There's a lot we're finding out about her only now.
Jung Im was alone.
She might not have taken the kid.
I don't know how to tell Jin Woo.
I know. He was so excited.
I'm going crazy just thinking how disappointed he'll be.
I'll look for the Hae In girl.
Do you know where she could be?
Can we have a word in private?
Not here.
Do girls need a mirror on their table too?
Yes, so I can always look at my pretty face.
I see.
Isn't that uncomfortable?
No. It cheers me up whenever I take a step.
It's cute.
He's more interested in me than usual.
My mom got this for me. It's a lipstick for kids.
Wait.
I have them in red and pink, and I look nice in both.
What do you think?
This was an abandoned village,
and one construction company turned it into a great complex.
The minister who approved this was promoted to a higher post.
It could be a great opportunity for your uncle...
I think you got something all wrong.
I arranged another meeting with my uncle because Ms. Na asked me to.
It's the favor I agreed to grant to her.
Yes, I get that.
The deadline for the permit to build the complex is coming up.
As you know, the permit to build this...
- will decide my company's... - About the permit.
Let's find Hae In first.
Chairman Ha!
Hae In's not here!
Hae In's gone.
Where is she?
Jin Woo.
Hae In and Ms. Na seem to have gone on a trip.
A trip?
Yes.
To make some memories before her adoption.
Mr. Kang and Ms. Jeon promised to call us when they return.
- Right? - What?
Of course.
You'll be the first one we call. I promise.
Until then, be a good older brother and wait.
Let's go home.
Kid!
Can someone help?
Where are you, Hae In?
I'm waiting for you.
- Welcome home. - Hey.
I called Na Jung Im, but she didn't show.
I fired her.
Why did you ask to see her?
I was going to give her a bonus since she'd worked for us for years.
She said she'd come but she didn't.
How dare that witch make an elder wait...
only not to appear?
Chi Hwan.
Will you get another chance to see Minister Jung?
Keep your wits about you. The bid's less than a week off.
Yes, sir.
How many chances do you think...
you'll get in a lifetime to prove yourself?
This could be your last shot.
Give it all you've got, okay?
Yes, sir.
Why did that kid suddenly become...
the key to our company's success?
How did she become so important?
It's so annoying and unbelievable.
Jung Im acted that way...
because she knew more than we did.
The arrogant wench.
Stupid me.
Why did I let the kid into our home...
and let her see Jin Woo again?
Why does Jin Woo want her...
to be his sister out of all the kids out there?
How are we to find a kid that vanished?
How can we find her when she won't answer her phone?
Yes.
Why didn't I think of that?
Young Eun, did you get back safely?
How is Jin Woo taking it?
Just as we thought. I'm worried.
I'm sure you are. That's what it's like to raise a kid.
You've been through it, so you must know.
What is it you want to say?
Young Eun. You should reconsider the adoption.
You need to have a child of your own.
Don't waste your life raising someone else's kids.
Time flies.
You'll grow old and hunched in no time.
Being a mom is hard work.
You shouldn't adopt when raising Jin Woo is tough enough.
- Mi Kang. - Yes?
I can handle my life.
Do as you're told and find Hae In.
I'm looking out for you because...
I'm not asking you to raise her, am I?
Chae Young Eun.
You dare hang up on me?
What a joke. You dare lecture me?
The whole world knows...
how shallow you are and you pretend to be a saint?
You, adopt?
You'll raise not one but two kids that aren't your own?
As if you'd do that.
Mi Kang of all people is worried I'll grow hunched.
Quit trying to give me advice...
and sort out your problems.
The deadline for the bid's coming up and the kid disappeared.
Both of you must be so darn anxious.
You haven't found her yet?
I apologize.
It looks like the girl went after Jung Im.
Mujeong Construction's future depends on her.
She's a kid, so she can't have gotten far.
Scour the neighborhood and bring her back.
- Got that? - Yes, sir.
- Tae Yong. - Yes?
You.
You said you stabbed her.
Yes. She ran off, wounded, and I lost her.
Search the nearby hospitals.
Would she have gone to a hospital over that?
Just do as you're told, punk!
She might have gone to the ER.
- Move it. - Yes, sir.
- Do you need a receipt? - No, thanks.
Thank you.
(Emergency Center)
(Beware of falling)
Kid.
You called her "auntie," not "Mom."
Is she so dear to you that you prayed until you passed out?
I hope the deities grant your wish.
I wish that she gets out by the time you wake,
and is able to hold your hand.
Oh, sorry.
Oh. You're alone.
That looks bad.
Oh, sorry. My bad.
Any news?
I think I found her.
You found Hae In?
Yes. I found her.
